during jazz on Sat.....

conversation with an 8 year old:

"Ms. Robynne, your baby is so cute."

"Thanks V, keep stretching please."

"Are you married?"

"No."

"Then how did you have a baby?"

"Everyone switch legs please, keep stretching. V, no more talking."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No. I said stretch."

"But then how did you have a baby?"

"All, right, no more talking, everyone stand up please..."

Help.

I'm bored. I figured writing here would give me something to do but I can't really think of anything interesting to say.

Tonight was fun. My church had a carnival thingy tonight, a sort of alternative to Halloween . I dressed the baby up in a totally cute little elephant outfit. It was fun because for once I didn't have to help with anything. Normally I'm onme of the people working and running things because my mom is the children's director and my dad is a deacon, but tonight I didn't have to, I just got to be a mommy and hang out with my friends. Yes, I do have friends, I just forget sometimes.

I got a funny compliment tonight. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, but I do wear a little most days. A guy friend of mine commented that I looked really nice tonight and that he'd never really seen me with make up before. Ummmm, yes he has cause we went of a sorta date (I can't never decide if it was or not cause it was lunch and the baby came with...does that count?). Whatever, stupid boys.

Work is going well. It's very amusing when my boss gets on the computer. She knows how to play with photoshop elements which is on the work computer, but only a little. She keeps trying to correct pictures for this calender we're making and it takes her soooooooooo long. I'm sitting there helping her thinking, "this would just take a second if you would move and let me do it." Same with my co-worker. I know I'm going to end up going back and fixing the work she does on the calender cause she only knows how to sorta play with publisher, and she doesn't have a clue with photoshop, while I have a good knowledge of photoshop and I'm much faster in publisher than she is. Sigh. It's a little frustrating. Especially today. OMG, I was getting annoyed. My boss was on the computer (we only have one) working on stuff. Fine, that's her right, it's her computer. But she also wanted me to work on the calender, which I couldn't do because she was on the computer! So I end up staying half an hour late to at least do something. She was on the computer right up until the time I was supposed to leave, then got up and said I could use it now. Ummm, thanks, but I'm supposed to go home now. But it needs to get done and the pictures we're using are only on that computer and I don't have publisher at home to work on it here. Grrrrrrr, very frustrating.

K, this got really long and rambly, so I'll go ahead and stop now. I'm sure I've bored you enough.

I don't even know where to begin

I feel so used. Kinda like when someone asks you to babysit their one kid...and you end up babysitting that kid, their cousin, their friends and the neighbors kid while they sit there and drink maragaritas in front of you. And you only get a measly $5 an hour.

where's my five bucks from the rest of you mooches huh?

You know what? In real life, no one wants to be friends with a single mom. It sucks. Want to know who I hang out with? My parents. Yup, I'm so cool I hang out with my parents. Don't even let me get started on dating, I'm in a bad enough mood already.

Old friends

Melissa and I used to dance together. We met when I was in 6th grade and she was in 8th at our dance studio. We were best friends from the time I was in 7/8th grade to about my sophmore year in high school. Then she had to move about 4 hours from here and we just kinda grew apart. We still saw each other occasionally, every few months, then every few years. The last time I saw her was when I came home the summer of my sophmore year of college, so roughly three years ago.

When I was sending out the baby's birth announcements I randomly decided to send her and her mom one since I knew they still lived at the same place they had for years. She called me this weekend wanting to come see the baby and catch up. Melissa came over on Sunday night and we ended up chatting for hours. It was like we hadn't just spent the last 6 years barely speaking. We ended up going to lunch on Monday and she's taking one of the ballet classes I teach on Monday nights.

Same thing has happened with the girl who I was best friends with from about birth to 7th grade. Except for the dancing part, she doesn't dance.

Very weird and very cool. I've grow away from friends before, but never been able to pick up with them so quickly again.

By the way...the car is gone again.
